Explosions rock Maiduguri as troops raid homes Explosions rocked parts of Maiduguri Saturday as troops engaged suspected Islamic radicals and raided homes, residents said. The explosions, which began late Friday, occurred in three neighbourhoods notorious for attacks blamed on the Boko Haram sect, and residents fled as troops went door-to-door arresting people suspected of complicity, they said. “Last night, there were explosions in Gwange area which went on till the late hours and today the explosions continued in Kalari and Budum neighbourhoods,” Modu Ari, a Budum resident, told AFP by phone from the city. “Soldiers moved from house to house arresting people, forcing residents to flee their homes to escape arrest,” said Ari, who had left his house with his family on Saturday. Ali Faltaye, a resident of Kalari, said troops battled suspected sect members in the area, sending residents fleeing to avoid being caught up in the fighting or arrested by soldiers. “Since morning loud explosions have been going on in the area and soldiers have been breaking into homes making arrests”, Faltaye said. Military and police authorities were not available for comment. Troops from Joint Task Force who were deployed in the city two years ago to combat Boko Haram have been accused of burning homes and committing rights violations against residents whom they accuse of complicity with Boko Haram whenever there is an attack blamed on the sect. The soldiers have denied such accusations. The group has stepped up bomb and gun attacks since the start of the Muslim fasting month of Ramadan. http://www.vanguardngr.com/2012/08/explosions-rock-maiduguri-as-troops-raid-homes/ |

OAM4J: This is becoming an act of war!Na today? The locals are a little sympathetic towards their cause and JTF is not helping matters by not giving protection to informants and anyone who criticized them openly. |

fexlist: What is all this about, I really don't understand this JTF why are they going house to house to arrest innocent people door to door? Read it again. It says ''....... arresting people suspected of complicity'' My compatriot, this is bound to happen. Some innocent people might end up getting arrested, but it would not be a deliberate act of wickedness and it's just due to the imperfection of human knowledge, it's called collateral damage. THAT'S ONE OF THE FALLOUTS OF WAR! |

The truth is that the JTF are doing their job well at their own level but our leaders are playing politics with arrested BH members. Therein lies the problem of curbing the BH menace. |

What is really happening in this country. I am tired of hearing bad news every day. Today bomb in Jos, tomorrow bomb in Sokoto, next tomorrow bomb in Borno. Why can't this crazy blood thirsty Islamic sect be flushed out. Declare the whole Northern states " State of Emergency" and flush out those miscreants. I am really sick and tired of this bombings. Haba!! |

Why the complain? Edwin Clarke asked IBB and Buhari to condemn Boko Haram and the threads went on fire. Nigeria is at war with terrorists who demand to impose Sharia on the whole country. Until Buhari and IBB denounce these terrorists openly, or call them to order if they are their instrument of power struggle, then the situation will remain delicate. 19 Northern Governors met for power struggle, but issued no ultimatum against Boko Haram. 3 Likes |

Re: Multiple Explosions Rock Maiduguri by lacasa: 7:18pm On Aug 04, 2012 |
jamace: Ɣou should be the one shocked ϯo death instead. No matter what, the JTF should use intelligence anϑ surveillance techniques ϯo identify BH accomplices bt not by knocking down resident doors n arresting the victims as well. Is †ђat Ђδω its done in sane societies. With the 1trillion earmarked fσr security in combating this terror. One would think the stupid security chiefs wld lay greater emphasis on gathering surveillance techniques n training as the beast approach ϯo end this thing. But yet again, we are an insane society so ds is expected, bt still so wrong. This brash technique the JTF are using will only turn the maiduguri faithful against them instead of befriending n helping them n so if fσr 2years this approach has obviously failed, then why keep at it But, as i stated earlier, we are in an Insane society after all |
